What's a "Super Close Projector"? From less than five feet from the screen you can project an image up to 120 inches. There's even digital keystone correction of plus or minus 16 degrees.

With a three year warranty on the projector and 90 days on the lamp you can tell that 3M is serious about backing what it makes. There's even a 24/7 Technical Support line in the US and a website for free unlimited downloads and updates.

But with its international power supply (100 – 240 Volts AC, 50/60 Hz) and the its ability to display NTSC (North America), PAL (The UK, Western Europe and Australia) and SECAM (the former Soviet Union states, France and much of Eastern Europe) video signals you can take this projector far beyond these shores.

Despite its pure projection power the SCP717 is easy to control. It not only has the usual infrared remote with multi-language onscreen display you'd expect, it also has an RS232 jack for advanced control and an RJ-45Ethernet (LAN) jack for connection to your LAN. Through this connection the SCP717 can even alert you to fault conditions.

The SCP717 can be deployed on a desktop or mounted on the ceiling and it can be used in front and rear projection mode. There's also an optional Kensington lock kit to use the SCP717's integrated Kensington lock slot to render the projector theft resistant.

Features:

3000 Lumens and 1600:1 Contrast Ratio
Plenty of projection power even when you have to leave some ambient light available for participants to take notes.

One Computer RGB Output Ideal for Presenter's Monitor
With a monitor in front of you, you can face your audience without having to crane your neck to view the projected presentation.

Compatible with Worldwide Standards
Accepts video signals in the NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. And the universal power supply can handle voltages from 100 to 240 volts. If you're going overseas just pick up the optional power cord for the region where you'll be presenting and you're good to go.

RCA Video Input Connector For Digital Cameras, Gaming and More
With the SCP717 it's not all work and no play. Imagine playing your favorite Wii, Xbox or PS3 game on a screen whose diagonal width is measured in feet, not inches!

2000 – 3000 Hour Lamp Life
If you use the projector about a half hour a day in Normal mode every business day of the year it could be as long as four years before you need to replace the lamp. Use it in Whisper (Eco) mode under the same schedule and the lamp could last six years before needing replacement.
